WASHINGTON/NEW YORK - U.S. presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg has spent more on campaign ads in the last few weeks than his main Democratic rivals have all year. Yet his level of support has barely risen, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
Three candidates still lead the pack of Democrats seeking to challenge President Donald Trump in the 2020 election: former Vice President Joe Biden with 18%, Senator Bernie Sanders with 15% and Senator Elizabeth Warren with 10%. Bloomberg has even outspent Tom Steyer, the Democratic contest’s other billionaire candidate who has put over $72 million into TV ads this year but garnered just 2% support in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll.
Bloomberg, a former Republican who only switched to the Democratic Party in 2018, has positioned himself as a moderate. His wealth could be key to his risky strategy of skipping the first four Democratic primary contests - including the Feb. 3 caucus in Iowa - in hopes of making up ground on March 3 when 14 states hold primaries.
Bloomberg trails the three Democratic leaders in hypothetical match-ups against Trump, the Reuters/Ipsos poll also found.
